foreign policy, and he is seeing that here on his first trip. the fact that he is going to this meeting has been used as a negotiating point, and he is going to have to react to the initiatives of other people. i think in all likelihood the highest post that he has held is going to be rather humbling experience for him for a while. >> and i wanted to ask steve clemons also about chuck hagel because we expect a vote tomorrow now even very close to hagel and asking for him to be confirmed. they suggested last week the white house that he did have the votes with richard shelby, a republican saying that he has endorsed him, that he at least stops the filibuster and gets a final confirmation sometime this week. >> we now have about 66 votes. not all of them declared to basically call on cloture, and they have well over the number of needed of majority votes, including richard shelby, potentially lisa murkowski, but she hasn't declared where she is on hagel per se. this looks like it will go forward. we're all expecting this vote to take place tomorro

and i think the hyperinterventionist foreign policy that dick cheney really was the key advocate for in the bush smrgs now viewed on both sides of the aisle as a failure even if republicans don't want to say that too loudly. the idea with sequestration was supposed to be that republicans would be so horrified about the idea of big defense department cuts they'd insist on a fix. a lot of republicans are saying that's basically okay with them. you couldn't imagine rand paul becoming the big figure he is in the republican party now eight years ago because eight years ago people would have said we need to go invade countries. >> nor could you imagine the republican establishment getting behind someone like rand paul with dick cheney in the vice president's office. >> there was a great moment in david frum's review of the book of cheney being put in his place in 2007. the heller case when the supreme court was coming up. cheney signed on to a brief that was much stronger that went much further than paul clement did and president bush's chief of staff said don't do that again or you'll not

american foreign policy as written by president obama is really no big surprise. that said, in terms of the sanctions piece, they are going to need congressional approval to do anything on sanctions. congress has not been very obedient lately. >> no. we're back to calling them french fries, instead of freedom fries. on the hill there's a number of skeptical democrats as well. but with the republicans they don't want to see a deal that is anything short of full destruction of iran's nuclear program. it's interesting to see if kerry can go in and convince them this week to give us more time. we'll be able to come up with something. as you said, scepticism is high. >> i want to ask you about expectations here. joe seems fairly bullish, fairly optimistic that something is going to happen. some folks have reacted to netanyahu's scepticism and said, listen, you're not going to get everything at the same time, just the fact wet to the point we're at is a very, very positive sign. you seem to echo that when we first spoke. in terms of the time line, what are we looking at
